Robert K.
Boston, MA
AC went out on a 98° day. Called HomePro at 10pm, tech was there by midnight. Fixed it in 45 minutes. Will never call anyone else.

Boston, MA
The HVAC tech was thorough, explained everything, and didn't try to sell me a new unit when a repair was all I needed. Refreshing honesty.

Got a full new HVAC system installed. The price was fair, the installation was clean, and they registered the warranty for me. Top notch.
Real cost data, decision guides, and what to look for when hiring — specific to your project.
Typical range: $150 – $12,000+ depending on scope
HVAC costs range from a few hundred dollars for a routine repair to $10,000+ for a full system replacement. The difference usually comes down to system age, equipment brand, home size, and whether the existing ductwork can be reused.
| Option / Tier | Description | Typical Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Service call & minor repair | Capacitor, refrigerant recharge, sensor, thermostat | $150–$600 |
| Major component repair | Compressor, heat exchanger, evaporator coil | $600–$2,500 |
| New central AC unit only | Replace outdoor condenser + indoor coil | $3,500–$7,000 |
| Full HVAC system replacement | New furnace + AC, includes installation and startup | $6,000–$12,000+ |
What moves the cost most:
System type
Central split systems, heat pumps, mini-splits, and package units all have different price points.
SEER2 / efficiency rating
Higher-efficiency systems cost more upfront but reduce operating costs. Federal tax credits available for high-efficiency equipment.
Home size and zone count
Larger homes and multi-zone systems require more equipment and labor.
Ductwork condition
If existing ductwork is leaking or undersized, adding duct repair or sealing adds $500–$2,500.
Emergency vs. scheduled service
After-hours emergency calls typically carry a $100–$300 premium over standard rates.
High-efficiency HVAC equipment qualifies for federal Inflation Reduction Act tax credits of up to $2,000 for heat pumps and $600 for qualifying furnaces and air conditioners. Proper system sizing and installation extend equipment life by 3–5 years compared to improperly installed systems.
A common industry guideline: multiply the age of your system (in years) by the estimated repair cost. If the result exceeds $5,000, replacement is typically more cost-effective than repair. For example, a 12-year-old system with a $500 repair estimate = $6,000 — replace. A 4-year-old system with a $500 repair = $2,000 — repair. Systems over 15 years old are generally candidates for proactive replacement regardless of current function.
Heat pumps have become significantly more capable in cold climates with the introduction of cold-climate heat pump technology effective to -13°F. They offer both heating and cooling from a single system and qualify for a federal tax credit of up to $2,000 under the Inflation Reduction Act. In moderate climates, a heat pump is often the most efficient and cost-effective choice. In very cold climates, a dual-fuel system (heat pump + gas furnace backup) is often the practical answer.
Under the Inflation Reduction Act, homeowners can claim up to $600 for a new high-efficiency central AC, $600 for a new high-efficiency furnace, and up to $2,000 for a qualifying heat pump — all as direct tax credits (not deductions). Equipment must meet specific efficiency thresholds. Ask your contractor to confirm the equipment qualifies before installation.
